Haunted: The Arnaud Legacy Book 1

Hmmmmm..... What to say about this book?!  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it.  However, I had it figured out way too early to be fun (probably because I watch horror movies like it's my job and this kind is my favorite).  Despite having guessed the end, I felt like the writing was crisp and descriptive without being annoying.  I enjoyed the setting and the moodiness, but I wanted more spook!  More scare!!  More creepy!!  Phoebe and the gang defeated Madam Arnaud far too easily, in my opinion.  The plot and execution of said plot was only a couple of pages of the book.... Easy peasy.  No buildup or sense of desperation or dread.  Boom... Done.  I know I've watched too much Michael Myers, but come on!!  It's never that simple!  There is a book 2 & 3 however, so maybe the story of Madam Arnaud isn't over just yet!!  Or maybe I'm desensitized, lol

In The Graveyard Antemortem

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  Here goes....

This book blew me away! It's so wonderful to have a fresh take on a classic genre.  I adore ghost stories, love a good mystery and have a never ending affection for big creepy houses and anything paranormal.  This book included all of these things (sort of), but did it in such a vibrant new way, I was hooked!!!  I think I have a new favorite author to add to my list.  Thank you!! 


Conversion

I absolutely loved this story!!  Both the retelling of the witch trials and the incidents in 2012.  Very thought provoking and extremely gripping!!  A+++++++
